Settlement behaviour of embankment placed over wash pond sediment

In the proceedings of: GeoVirtual 2020: 73rd Canadian Geotechnical ConferenceABSTRACT: This paper presents the settlement behavior of an 18 m high embankment constructed over two decommissioned gravel quarry wash ponds in Cochrane, Alberta. Due to the time and cost constraints of the project, removal of the pond sediments accumulated from gravel washing was not a viable option and backfilling over the pond sediment was considered as an alternate approach to meet the project objectives.
RÉSUMÉ: Cet article présente le comportement de tassement d'un remblai de 18 m de haut construit sur deux bassins de lavage de carrière de gravier désaffectés à Cochrane, en Alberta. En raison des contraintes de temps et de coût du projet, l'élimination des sédiments de l'étang accumulés par le lavage du gravier n'était pas une option viable et le remblayage sur les sédiments de l'étang a été considéré comme une approche alternative pour atteindre les objectifs du projet.
